ITS TOUGH TO BE A BUG


Based on the characters of the Pixar hit "A Bugs Life", 'Its Tough To Be a Bug' is a 3D show located directly below the unmissable Tree of Life. You weave your way around the tree's many carved roots before reaching the cave-like auditorium, where you'll pick up a pair of 'bug' glasses. These will allow you to see things 'as a bug would!' Once seated, you'll meet your host Flik and be dubbed 'honorary bugs' for the duration. He then begins to showcase the perils and survival techniques used by some of his fellow bugs…that is, until the villainous Hopper puts a stop to things. Suddenly the show takes a different turn and Hopper instructs his insect armies to give you, the honorary bugs, a taste of your own medicine. What ensues will have you laughing and screaming all the way to the musical finale, led by Flik and the bug orchestra.
It's enough to guarantee you'll never feel the same way about bugs again!
